Whanganui resident Ruth Tidemann has asked Horizons Regional Council to stop giving Whanganui District Council consent to groom Castlecliff Beach every summer. Tidemann is a member of Castlecliff Coast Care and a Te Pūwaha consultation group for the Whanganui port development, and instigated Castlecliff Kōrero in 2018. She presented her submission on Horizons long-term plan to regional councillors in the Whanganui War Memorial Centre on Tuesday.

The lower Whanganui River has changed a lot from its days as a deep water port - mainly because it is carrying so much silt now.
Whanganui ecologist and ornithologist Peter Frost spoke about the river at the Coastal Restoration Trust s annual conference on Friday, its final day.
Frost said the Whanganui was the third-longest river in New Zealand, and the longest navigable, with 230 navigable kilometres between Whanganui and Taumarunui.
